History
Founded in 1603 CE (Keichō 8) when the monk Kyōō Enji moved from Ōō-ji to spread the teachings of the Nichiren school. It became a Zen temple in 1701 CE (Genroku 14) and established its independence as the head temple of the Koshō-ji branch of the Rinzai school in 1953. It is also called Oribe-ji because of its ties to Furuta Oribe.
